Pie recipe

Welcome to Pieathalon 5! Yep, it has been five years since I began participating in this worldwide challenge – missing last year for the heart issues. But I am back and accepting the challenge from our great leader, Emily of Dinner is Served 1972. When I chose my pie recipe to contribute, I chuckled…

I must tell you this Lemon Pecan Pie is the most fabulous pie that I have eaten in a long time – it is lip-smacking, finger-licking deee-lish! We have found a new addition to our Thanksgiving table. The other night I was reading my Face Book newsfeed and a photo caught my eye taken by…

This is the easiest Key lime pie I have ever made and it tastes great to boot! I used a bag of fresh Key limes but you can use bottled Key lime juice if they are out of season or you are pressed for time. So many recipes make it hard because you have to…

Do you remember visiting Shoney’s as a kid? I know there are still some around the U.S. but not nearly the number there used to be.

To avoid crowds of children bringing their moms as well as parents bringing their children who just graduated (it’s graduation weekend at OU) we will avoid restarants…

My nana was a wonderful woman who tried like the dickens to teach me to cook, iron, crochet and any number of other domestic arts. The only one she ever succeeded in was teaching me to can fruits and vegetables from the garden. Every once in a while I decide there was something she cooked…

As you know, I am domestically impaired. I was reading a wonderful Mennonite blog yesterday. It had a recipe for a jam tart. It sounded wonderful but, as I read the recipe I realized there were more ingredients and step involved than I was willing to participate in. But it got me thinking and it got…
